Flickr
The Flickr App for iPhone is, as expected, extremely well designed. The interface is clean and understated which allows the photos to take centre stage. I particularly like the intuitive layout and clear typeface used.

Cheeky Monkey
This site features some really great graphical elements. The excellently illustrated monkey character stands in front of a jQuery chalkboard with smooth transitions. This is a really nice looking page that has been kept fairly simple with content and messaging, which made room for some eye-catching artwork.

Alvena Business Cards
These business cards have a beautiful texture, rounded corners, and vivid colour. They certainly stand out from the norm. I particularly like the inverted use of the logo in white on the reverse of the card.

Damn Good
This busy but attractive website has a layered feel that brings a lot of depth to the design. There is some really nice illustration work on display and the glossy buttons near the bottom are a nice touch.

Music sites are notoriously poor in their design but this one comes off quite classy. The rich, dark colors and beautiful photography work really well together.

Polaroid
A nice side scrolling site with a modular format containing several boxes of content displayed on a dark background. There is a nice fusion here of typography and photography and several small examples of good design that lend to the whole.

A beautiful and unique nautically themed site with a retro flare. The mixture of photography and illustration is excellent and the parallax scrolling effect is a really nice touch.

Recurse
Recurse is a web app for designers to show off flat design ideas as if they were a website. I really like the wooden background in combination with the stacked paper look. A great design!

The giant photographic header is a beautiful element that immediately grabs your attention. Other nice touches include the pop of orange and the blurry transparency on page tabs.

The colors and swirly artwork on this site are a perfect visual suggestion of coffee and the photographic elements and textures have been skillfully combined in Photoshop. Overall, it is a nice looking site that feels unique while remaining easy to use.

Market Restaurant
This site design is an awesome combination of color, texture and photography. Notice that the design is not just attractive but highly functional. The restaurant hours are placed right on the homepage because they are probably one of the main reasons people stop by the site.

An attractive site with plenty of whitespace and a nice wooden background. I like the little arrows and paths drawn over the background as well as the continuing theme in the image slider.

Spring
This page header is bursting with awesome graphics screened and faded onto the background texture. I like the mixture of city and nature graphics in the same space. This reinforces the coexistence element of the message.

This site utilizes very subtle amounts of texture in the background, large thumbnails, minimalist icons and awesome web type. I particularly like the shadow treatment on the gallery thumbnails as well as the script font used on the active state of the navigation.

A great looking dark theme with a textured paper background and very selective uses of color. The hero on this site is the header. I love the large type and the colorful abstract vector.
